Sarah: From an early age, it was my mom. She was my biggest design influence. She inspired me with her creativity. I think that if my mom were doing what I’m doing now, if she started her career at a different time, I think she’d be doing something more like what I’m doing. So I kind of think that I’m doing it for both of us!

Sarah: There is a whole world of design out there and there’s new challenges. I don’t need anything to drive me to jump out of bed. I think I have the best job and absolutely love what I do. The days go by so quickly, I never look at my watch. I look at my watch only to think uh-oh how much time is left to get done what I want to do. I never think about it in terms of is this day over yet? So I think that time flies and I am always excited for what lies ahead. You never know what will happen on any given day.

Sarah: I’d like to be remembered for thoughtful design. I’d like to be remembered for doing something that was original and creative. I want solutions that last, that are meaningful and that make people happy.
